Well this movie certainly is about space, as in "staring off into". Honestly, the main character does this for 90% of her screentime, and it's always the same bland, lifeless expression. I suppose it's to generate intrigue, but there's nothing really in the movie to make us care. In fact, many characters "stare to create interest" but it simply does not. Music can get a bit much, trying to make up for the lack of on-screen activity. To make matters worse, the plot finally develops in the last 20 minutes, but it hinges on a little girl sneaking into a top-secret, highly classified government space facility. As they do... Someone needs to introduce the writer/director to the "Dust" sci-fi channel on YouTube. Short stories with first-class writing/directing/graphics. This one spent far too long mistaking standing still for intrigue! Probably the best thing about this movie is the creepy guy who played a dead person. About sums it up. Some nice box-ticking though....

Builds quite nicely with some twists and turns, but feels like the bugdet ran out and they had to skip the last few scenes. An interesting watch, if you don't mind filling in the various blanks at the end, oh and a couple of missing motives too...

Great 70s kitsch, obviously a lot of work went into that. Wish they'd spent more work on plot! Set on a space station, we have no idea what its function is or why the characters are even on board. The odd fun, awkward scene, but nothing really feature film worthy. Best part is the dead mother-in-law! Also, I wondered how the female lead could get away with one-dimensional whispering delivery of her lines, then I saw who she's related to. But if you're a 70s fan, you'll enjoy how it's woven into the movie!

Great acting/directing/score. Multiple intriguing/tense/desperate storylines draw you in as the various dramas unfold. Plus, it's all so sadly plausible. Watch with a loved one if possible...

Great cast/acting/writing/directing/score. What more could you want...

Good but not great. Probably a "must-see" if you're a Gibson fan, or just curious about his "comeback" flick. Would like to have seen more interplay between characters, rather than simply chasing down the bad guys. And chase them down he does!

Definitely worth a watch, especially if you liked "Sixth Sense". Here, Liam Neesom plays an undertaker with a "special gift" who can communicate with the dead. But can he? You'll flip-flop throughout the movie...

Great whodunnit! A murderous, newlywed couple is loose on an Hawaiian island, but where and who? Loved the acting/characters in this movie. They play off each other so well. Perhaps a tad tongue-in-cheek, but grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride!

If you've watch The Sixth Sense you might expect the same writer to come up with something equally cool here. Set-up: folk all over the place are mysteriously commiting suicide. Ok, that kinda hooks ya. What could be the cause?? Gotta be something interesting, perhaps a plot twist? Nah. Spoiler: it's the trees and bushes. They're fed up with us humans, and are releasing a deadly toxic (and controlling the wind to distribute it) to see us off! I had to rewind the reveal a coupla times, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Nope. That's it. So, if rustling leaves and branches in broad daylight is your idea of suspense, this movie is for you.

Based on a true story of folk trapped in an underwater cave needing to escape. It's also 3D so watching it on your phone probably doesn't do the visuals justice! (Movie may be 3D but characters are 1D.) You spend most of your time wondering "how the heck did they film that!?" because there's not much plot to ponder over. Basically, the characters die off one by one, so it's simply a matter of who survives, and that's it! Lots of gushing water scenes, if that's your thing. I know there's other "Cave" movies made around the same time. Check those out instead...
